This book combines artistic beauty with a brilliant understanding of centuries of garden history.
Beautifully illustrated with photography by Clay Perry, 'Medieval Flowers' draws together those species of flowers that grew in medieval times and still grow today. From Peony to Poppy, Solomon's Seal and Colombine to Lily and Iris, these flowers are the purest in colour and the most beautifully scented varieties we have.
Miranda Innes looks through the seasons and introduces us to gorgeous gardens that can be traced back to medieval times, both in Britain and Europe. She details the purpose of gardens in those times, the types of plant grown, as well as the medicinal aspects; she also includes a chapter on how to grow the individual flowers today.
